About the course

Cloud platforms face unique security issues and opportunities because of their evolving designs and API-driven automation. We will learn cloud-specific strategies for securing platforms such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, and others. The book will help you implement data asset management, identity and access management, network security, vulnerability management, incident response, and compliance in your cloud environment. This book helps cybersecurity teams strengthen their security posture by mitigating cyber risk when "targets" shift to the cloud. The book will assist you in identifying security issues and show you how to achieve best-in-class cloud security. It also includes new cybersecurity best practices for daily, weekly, and monthly processes that you can combine with your other daily IT and security operations to meet NIST criteria. This book teaches how to leverage cloud computing by addressing the shared responsibility paradigm required to meet PCI-DSS, ISO 27001/2, and other standards. It will help you choose the right cloud security stack for your ecosystem. Moving forward, we will discuss the architecture and framework, building blocks of native cloud security controls, adoption of required security compliance, and the right culture to adopt this new paradigm shift in the ecosystem. Towards the end, we will talk about the maturity path of cloud security, along with recommendations and best practices relating to some real-life experiences.
